The monk Udāyī should approach the Sangha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say: ‘Venerables, I had committed one offense of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. I asked the Sangha to give me probation for five days for that offense, which it did. While on probation, I committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. I ask the Sangha to send me back to the beginning for that offense.’ And he should ask a second and a third time.

A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The monk Udāyī had committed one offense of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. He asked the Sangha for probation for five days for one offense of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. The Sangha gave the monk Udāyī probation for five days for one offense of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. While on probation, he committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. He is now asking the Sangha to send him back to the beginning for one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen, committed while on probation. If the Sangha is ready, it should send the monk Udāyī back to the beginning for one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen, committed while on probation. This is the motion.
